Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant healthcare education with a concentration on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle problems extending from simple conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet frequently experience.
